On July 12, 1966 St. Louis hosts a hot midsummer All-Star classic. Maury Wills‘ 10th-inning single scores Tim McCarver, as the National League wins, 2 – 1.
Giants hurler Gaylord Perry got the victory by tossing a scoreless ninth and tenth inning. The 105-degree weather, 113 degrees on the playing surface, results in nearly 150 people needing treatment for heat exhaustion.
Brooks Robinson’s stellar game (3 hits, eight chances) earns him the game MVP award. Asked about the new ballpark, Casey Stengel remarks, “it holds the heat well.” On-field temperature is 113 degrees.
